A Model Congressman,

There is Representative in Con-
gress from one of the Southern States
who manages to live comfortably in
Washington at all outlay OF not more
shan $1,000 per nnnum. He has no
family, and neither drinks wine, ETC.,
nor uses tobacco. He apparently
enjoys life in his own way and is a
general favorite with his Congressional
associates. He has neat, but not ex-
travagant apartments in respectable
section of the city, and dresses in good
taste. Many of his companions are
very anxious to learn his methods Of
saving so much of his salary, but he
refrains from giving any advice on the
subject, telling them good-naturedly
that it is the result Of his self-control.
He is not in any sense .niser, but he
is about the best specimen of model
moral Congressman in existence to-
day.-M Y Post.

MUSSEI LYNCHED
BY Well Organized Committee OF the
Best Citizens of Eaton. O.'-The Horrible

Best Citizens of Eaton. O.--The Horrible
Murder of Farmer Christman Avenged.
EATON, o., ;. 2l.-Wm. Mussel, who,
two weeks ago, brutally murdered Daniel
Christman, wealthy old farmer living
near here, and nearly killed his wife, was
tonight lynched in this town by mob IN
the presence Of almost the entire popula'
ton of the town and hundreds from neigh
boring country, who came in expecting the
affair to come off just as it did. Mussel
was captured at Greencastle yesterday
and brought here this forenoon.
He was received by mob OF
500 men, who chased the carriage
conveying him to Jail until the officers in
charge drew their revolvers and by hard
work landed him in Jail intact. Even then
dash was made for him, but the mob was
a second time driven off. Mussel was
smoking o cigar when he got off the train,
but was perfectly paralyzed with fear
when he saw his pursuers and heard their
cries of Lynch him !"'tShoot him. etc.,
howled into his ears, and shook like an asp
en- leaf as he looked into their angry faces.
Tonight regularly organized meeting
was held in the town hall, attended by
leading citizens, and the affair was fully
discussed, with the result that his lynch
ing was deciped upon, and the men selected
to carry out that determination. The meet
ing was not long in session, for its result
was quickly arrived at, and few minutes
before 8 o'clock a rush was made for the
jail. The sheriff protested, but it was
only formal protest, and the mob carried
the outer doors with a wild hurrah. The
keys were not to be had, but sledges and
cold chisels were speedily put to work on
Mussels cell door, and he was soon
dragged out. a glance suf1lced to iden-
tify him, for q score of men in the crowd
knew him well. A ready rope was quickly
put about his neck, and scores helped him,
none loo gently out of the jail and into the
courthouse yard, and across it to the COR
ner, where stands an electric light tower.
Into the glare Of that light Mussel was
dragged Mussel glanced around, and his
face, which had worn defiant look fell.
The leader appointed at the meeting halted
at the light tower. The rope was swung
over convenient beam, and then Mussel
was asked if he had any thing to
say. In firmer voice than could have
been expected he declared he was innocent
of the crime charged against him. He
was not given chance to say much more,
for, exasperated by the self-apparent lie
of man on the verge of eternity, the sig
nal was given, and William NJ ,sel was
swung up between heaven and earth. 1t
was just ten minutes after eight o'clock.
After hanging twenty minutes the body
was cut down and handed over to an I'M
dertaker. The lynching is generally com.
n1ended by our best citizens,

BOLD ROBBERY.
A. jewelers. Window Smashed In
Wow Of Large Crowd.
The Spectators Held at Bay With Revolt
vers, and Six Thousand Dollars Worth OF
Goods Carried OF.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Dec. 22..-About 8
o'clock this evening three men drove up in
front of the large jewelry store of J. r.
Elliott, corner Of Nicollet avenue and Third
street. Two of the men jumped from the
sleigh, while the third held the horses.
One Of the men carried heavy stick OF
wood, with which he smashed the large
plate glass show-window, in which
were trays Of diamonds, watches, ETC.,
and hurriedly seized all the available
jewelry and threw it into the sleigh, while
his accomplices kept the crowd of people
that swarmed the street at bay with cooked
revolvers. Before any thing could be done
to apprehend them both men had jumped
into the sleigh and driven rapidly up street,
the driver wildly lashing the horses, and
the robbers standing with revolvers point
ed at the crowd. They secured between
5000 and $1,000 worth of diamonds
and watches. For holiness and
daring this excels the James
brothers exploits. The streets were un-
usually crowded, and scores of people were
looking at the display in Elliott's window
atthe time Of the robbery. Several police
men were within half a block of the scene,
but could not get there in time to appre.
bend the bold thieves A posse Of men have
started after them with fast horses, and
the telephone and telegraph have been
utilized to notify all outlets of the city to
be on the lookout for them.

Making Room for Sil,er Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-A communication
from the Secretary of the Treasury was to-
day laid before the House, in which he
says the capacity of vaults already con-
structed for the storage of silver dollars is
now practically exhausted. There is,
therefore, he says, necessity that pro-
vision be made for the storage of silver
dollars at the earliest practicable day.
Estimates are transmitted of the cost of a
storage vault Of one hundred million dol
lars capacity within the court yard of the
Treasury building. For a double steel
lined vault the estimates are $l06,673, and
for simple vault without steel lining they
are S27, SO4.

QUAILED BEFORE THE TASK.
One of the Minneapolis Ninnies Gives Up
His Partridge Diet.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-Ten days before
Mann, the Minneapolis quail eater, started
in on his task to eat thirty birds in thirty
days for bet Of $1,000, Charles Miller
commenced the same business on another
wager. Yesterday Miller attacked his
twenty-eighth bird. He had been COM
planning for the past five days that he
could not sleep at night, and that he
seemed to have load of stone on his
breast. He felt well enough when he went
down to his quail, ate little bread and
butter and potatoes and then attacked the
bird. After two bites Miller was taken
violently i'll, vomiting and being utterly
unable to go on with the task. A hack
was sent for and he was taken to doc
tors and from thence to his home. No
serious results are looked for and he will
probably be all right in day or two.
Mann ate his eighteenth quail last night
and is still feeling we'll.
